Description

[0002] In the field of machine tool automation, the surface of the blank part processed by the machine tool is mostly attached with cutting fluid, oil stains and metal debris and other substances, and the debris is not easy to completely and naturally fall off due to the influence of the cutting fluid and oil stains. In view of the requirement of the next process without debris, or in order to reduce the pollution of the debris falling to the ground in the subsequent working condition to the working environment, or to reduce the damage of the debris falling into other equipment parts to the equipment, it is necessary to clean the debris of the blank part after machining by the machine tool.

[0003] The general way to clean the debris on the surface of the part is as follows: centrifugal cleaning method, blowing cleaning method (automatic, manual), brush sweeping method, liquid immersion method, etc. The centrifugal cleaning method has good cleaning effect and high environmental protection, but it requires more space and has general production efficiency, high price and is limited by the shape of the part (mainly suitable for regular shaped parts). The brush sweeping method has the disadvantages of slow speed and the possibility of scratching the surface of the part.

[0037] It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0038] As mentioned in the background, aluminum chip residue often accompanies the process of part machining. Traditional aluminum chip cleaning methods mainly include manual compressed air blowing with an air gun, cleaning with a dust suction device, and flushing with cutting fluid. However, these methods have exposed a series of deficiencies in practical application, affecting the efficiency and safety of the production line, which is specifically manifested as follows: cutting fluid flushing: although the cutting fluid flushing can effectively remove the aluminum chips attached to the surface of the part, it is not good for the cleaning effect in the internal deep cavity. At the same time, the mixture of cutting fluid and aluminum chips generated during the flushing process is difficult to separate effectively, and an additional complex filtering system is needed, which increases the complexity and cost of the process flow; manual compressed air blowing with an air gun: this method relies on manual operation, and the efficiency is low and the consistency is difficult to guarantee. The uncontrollability of the blowing direction causes the aluminum chips to fly everywhere, which not only increases the cleaning difficulty, but also may pose a safety hazard to the operators and other equipment, causing secondary pollution. Therefore, in view of the above technical problems, the chip cleaning equipment provided in the present application includes a support frame 100, a clamping device 200, a blowing device 300, and a chip collecting device 400. The clamping device 200 is arranged on the support frame 100 and is used to clamp a target workpiece 900. The blowing device 300 is arranged on the support frame 100 and is movably arranged along the height direction of the support frame 100. The blowing device 300 includes a first blowing assembly 310 and a second blowing assembly 320. The first blowing assembly 310 is used to blow the outer peripheral surface of the target workpiece 900. The second blowing assembly 320 is used to extend into the cavity of the target workpiece 900 for blowing. The chip collecting device 400 includes a chip collecting cover 410 and a negative pressure component 420. At least part of the chip collecting cover 410 is arranged on the side of the clamping device 200. The negative pressure component 420 is in communication with the chip collecting cover 410 and is used to generate negative pressure in the chip collecting cover 410. At least part of the chip collecting cover 410 is arranged opposite to the clamping device 200, so that the chips are sucked into the chip collecting cover 410 when the blowing device 300 blows the target workpiece 900. Through the cooperative work of the first blowing assembly 310 and the second blowing assembly 320, not only the chips on the outer surface of the target workpiece 900 can be completely removed, but also the internal cavity can be finely cleaned, which greatly improves the efficiency and thoroughness of chip cleaning and avoids the problem that the traditional cleaning method easily misses the chips in the deep hole or internal cavity. The blowing device 300 can move along the height direction of the support frame 100, which means that the equipment can automatically adapt to workpieces of different sizes and positions, reducing the need for manual adjustment and improving the automation level of the production line. The chip collecting cover 410 and the negative pressure component 420 in the chip collecting device 400 form a closed-loop system of "blowing and sucking linkage", which can suck the chips into the chip collecting cover 410 while blowing the workpiece, effectively preventing secondary pollution caused by the flying of chips, maintaining the clean environment of the workshop, and reducing the safety hazard.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7The application provides a debris removal device, comprising: a support frame 100; a clamping device 200 arranged on the support frame 100 and used for clamping a target workpiece 900, the target workpiece 900 having a cavity; a blowing device 300 arranged on the support frame 100 and movably arranged along the height direction of the support frame 100, the blowing device 300 comprising a first blowing assembly 310 and a second blowing assembly 320, the first blowing assembly 310 being used for blowing the outer peripheral surface of the target workpiece 900, and the second blowing assembly 320 being used for blowing into the cavity; and a debris collecting device 400, the debris collecting device 400 comprising a debris collecting cover 410 and a negative pressure component 420, at least part of the debris collecting cover 410 being arranged on the side of the clamping device 200, the negative pressure component 420 being in communication with the debris collecting cover 410 and used for generating negative pressure in the debris collecting cover 410, and at least part of the debris collecting cover 410 being arranged opposite to the clamping device 200, so that debris is sucked into the debris collecting cover 410 when the blowing device 300 blows the target workpiece 900.

[0040] According to the debris removal device provided by the application, the positions of the clamping device 200 and the blowing device 300 are adjustable, so that the device can adapt to various types of target workpieces 900, such as the front cross beam, the middle beam and the tail beam of a battery tray, thereby improving the compatibility of the device and the flexibility of the production line and reducing the adjustment time and cost of the device due to the replacement of products.

[0041] Through the combined use of the first blowing assembly 310 and the second blowing assembly 320, the outer peripheral surface and the cavity are cleaned in all directions. The first blowing assembly 310 is responsible for external debris removal, avoiding the residual of surface debris; the second blowing assembly 320 can extend into the cavity of the workpiece for deep cleaning, solving the limitation that the inner cavity is difficult to reach by traditional methods, and ensuring the overall cleanliness of the target workpiece 900.

[0042] The blowing device 300 can move along the height direction of the support frame 100, which means that the device can automatically adjust the blowing position according to the specific needs of different workpieces, without frequent manual intervention, thereby improving the continuity and automation level of the operation and being conducive to the construction of an efficient and intelligent production line.

[0043] The debris collecting cover 410 and the negative pressure component 420 in the debris collecting device 400 form a closed cycle, which can instantly capture the debris blown up during the blowing process, prevent the debris from flying around and causing secondary pollution, ensure the neatness of the working environment, reduce the influence on the subsequent processes, and ensure the safety of the production line. The collected debris is concentrated in a specific area through the debris collecting cover 410, which is convenient for unified management and recycling, especially when metal debris (such as aluminum debris) is processed, which not only reduces the consumption of raw materials, but also reduces the waste treatment cost.

[0044] Specifically, the chip collecting device 400 further comprises a chip collecting box 430 arranged at the bottom of the support frame 100 and in abutment with the chip collecting cover 410, and a negative pressure component 420 is arranged below the chip collecting box 430 and communicates with the chip collecting box 430, and the bottom plate of the chip collecting box 430 is provided with ventilation holes, and the debris in the chip collecting cover 410 is introduced into the chip collecting box 430 through the negative pressure component 420.

[0045] The chip collecting box 430 is located at the bottom of the support frame 100 and directly abuts the chip collecting cover 410, ensuring that the debris is quickly and effectively collected. The design of the ventilation holes helps to circulate air while preventing debris from escaping, enhancing the separation effect of debris and air and improving the collection efficiency.

[0046] The arrangement of the chip collecting box 430 simplifies the overall structure of the chip collecting device 400 and reduces the complexity of equipment maintenance. The layout of the ventilation holes and the position of the negative pressure component 420 optimize the risk of debris blockage, reducing maintenance frequency and cost.

[0047] Specifically, the bottom plate of the chip collecting box 430 is a sieve plate, and the sieve holes on the sieve plate are ventilation holes, which can ensure air flow while filtering debris to prevent debris from entering the negative pressure component 420 and affecting the negative pressure component 420. The negative pressure component 420 is a drainage fan.

[0048] Using a drainage fan as a negative pressure component 420, compared to a traditional vacuum pump or other types of large air extraction equipment, it consumes less energy, produces less noise, and generates sufficient suction, effectively improving the collection efficiency of debris while reducing energy consumption;

[0049] The sieve holes on the sieve plate are easy to clean and replace, and when the sieve holes are blocked, the sieve plate can be easily removed and cleaned or replaced with a new one, greatly simplifying the maintenance process and reducing maintenance costs, while ensuring the continuous and efficient operation of the equipment.

[0050] In the specific implementation process, along the flow direction of the airflow, the cross-sectional area of the flow passage of the chip collecting cover 410 gradually decreases.

[0051] The gradual decrease in the cross-sectional area of the flow passage will cause the speed of the airflow to gradually increase when passing through the chip collecting cover 410, thereby enhancing the concentration and kinetic energy of the airflow, which helps to more effectively capture and guide the debris to flow towards the chip collecting box 430, improving the debris collection efficiency.

[0052] The change in cross-sectional area causes a natural flow channel to form inside the chip collecting cover 410, ensuring that debris is sucked in along the preset path even during the cleaning process of complex workpieces, avoiding the accumulation and rebound of debris on the inner wall of the cover, and reducing the occurrence of cleaning dead angles.

[0053] In the present application, as shown in Figure 2 The first blowing assembly 310 includes a first mounting plate 311 arranged on the support frame 100, the first mounting plate 311 being movably arranged along the vertical direction; and first blowing components 312 arranged on the first mounting plate 311, the first blowing components 312 being at least two, the at least two first blowing components 312 being oppositely and spacedly arranged to blow the outer peripheral surface of the target workpiece 900 respectively.

[0054] The oppositely and spacedly arrangement of the at least two first blowing components 312 can simultaneously blow the outer peripheral surface of the target workpiece 900 from multiple angles, ensuring comprehensive removal of workpiece surface debris and avoiding cleaning dead angles that may exist in traditional single-direction blowing.

[0055] The movably arranged first mounting plate 311 along the vertical direction means that the position of the first blowing components 312 can be adjusted according to the specific height and shape of the target workpiece 900, improving the flexibility and adaptability of the equipment to different types of workpieces and enhancing the versatility and efficiency of the production line.

[0056] The first blowing assembly 310 further includes a connecting component rotatably arranged around a predetermined axis, the connecting component being connected with the first mounting plate 311 and the first blowing components 312 respectively, and the first blowing components 312 being driven to rotate by the connecting component.

[0057] The rotatable characteristic of the connecting component enables the first blowing components 312 to blow at multiple angles, enhancing the flexibility of the equipment and enabling the cleaning of debris at different orientations and angles on the surface of the target workpiece 900, ensuring the comprehensiveness and thoroughness of the cleaning.

[0058] By controlling the rotation angle of the connecting component, the position of the first blowing components 312 can be accurately adjusted, enabling the airflow to more accurately target the target area, improving the cleaning efficiency and reducing the splashing and secondary pollution of debris caused by improper blowing direction.

[0059] The rotation mechanism of the connecting component enables the first blowing assembly 310 to adapt to target workpieces 900 of different shapes and sizes, effectively cleaning even if the workpiece surface has complex curved surfaces or protruding structures by adjusting the blowing angle, greatly improving the compatibility and application range of the equipment.

[0060] The first blowing assembly 310 is in multiple groups, the multiple groups of first blowing assemblies 310 being spacedly arranged along the height direction of the support frame 100, and each group of first blowing assemblies 310 moving synchronously along the height direction of the support frame 100.

[0061] The plurality of first blowing assemblies 310 can comprehensively cover various height regions of the target workpiece 900, ensuring that debris from the top to the bottom can be effectively cleaned, avoiding the cleaning dead angle or low efficiency problem that may exist in the traditional single blowing point.

[0062] The synchronous movement of each group of first blowing assemblies 310 ensures the consistency of cleaning operations at different height positions of the target workpiece 900, avoiding uneven cleaning caused by differences in movement timing and speed of different assemblies, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the cleaning effect.

[0063] Further, the second blowing assembly 320 comprises: a second mounting plate 321 arranged on the support frame 100 and movably arranged along the height direction of the support frame 100; and a second blowing component 322 arranged on the second mounting plate 321 and moved by the second mounting plate 321 to extend into the cavity of the target workpiece 900 or be withdrawn from the cavity.

[0064] The second blowing component 322 can extend into the cavity of the target workpiece 900, overcoming the limitation that the traditional cleaning method cannot reach the internal space, ensuring that the debris in the cavity can be thoroughly cleaned, and improving the product cleanliness and the accuracy of subsequent processing.

[0065] The movable design of the second mounting plate 321 enables the second blowing component 322 to accurately align with the target cavity, and flexibly adjust according to the depth and shape of the cavity, thereby realizing accurate blowing of each corner in the cavity and improving the consistency and reliability of the cleaning effect.

[0066] The second blowing assembly 320 can be applied to target workpieces 900 with various cavity depths and shapes, and by replacing different second blowing components 322 or adjusting the height of the second mounting plate 321, the equipment can quickly adapt to the cleaning needs of different models of workpieces, improving the flexibility and compatibility of the production line.

[0067] In the present application, the second blowing component 322 is a plurality of second blowing components 322, the arrangement of the plurality of second blowing components 322 is matched with the cavity structure of the target workpiece 900, and each second blowing component 322 is connected and fixed by a fixing block 323 to ensure the stability of the second blowing component 322 and avoid shaking of the second blowing component 322 during blowing.

[0068] The arrangement of the plurality of second blowing components 322 matches the workpiece cavity structure, can accurately align and clean the debris in the cavity, avoids the cleaning dead angle that may exist in the traditional single-point or unmatched blowing mode, and ensures the cleanliness of the cavity.

[0069] The second purge component 322 is fixed by the fixing block 323, which ensures the stability of the purge component during the blowing process, avoids the deviation of the airflow direction or poor cleaning effect caused by the shaking of the component, and improves the accuracy and reliability of the chip cleaning process.

[0070] The number and arrangement of the second purge components 322 can be flexibly adjusted according to the specific cavity structure of the target workpiece 900, so that the equipment can cope with cavity cleaning tasks of different complexities, thereby enhancing the adaptability and flexibility of the production line.

[0071] like Figure 5 As shown, in the first embodiment provided in the present application, the second purge components 322 are arranged in parallel, and there are multiple fixing blocks 323 , which are spaced apart along the length direction of the second purge components 322 .

[0072] The spaced arrangement of the plurality of fixing blocks 323 improves the stability of the second purge component 322, ensures that the component does not vibrate or move significantly during high-intensity purge, and improves the accuracy and consistency of the purge.

[0073] like Figure 6 As shown, in the second embodiment provided in the present application, the second purge components 322 are arranged in an staggered manner, and there are multiple fixed blocks 323. The multiple fixed blocks 323 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the second purge components 322. Each fixed block 323 is respectively provided with a fixing hole corresponding to each second purge component 322, and each second purge component 322 is connected to the fixed block 323 after passing through the fixing hole.

[0074] Multiple fixed blocks 323 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the second purge component 322, which not only increases the stability of the purge component and prevents it from deflecting or shaking under the action of high-speed airflow, but also provides more support points for the second purge component 322, facilitating more precise angle and position adjustment, and improving the controllability and accuracy of the purge process.

[0075] In the specific implementation process, Figure 3 As shown, the first purge assembly 310 includes: a first mounting plate 311, which is arranged on the support frame 100 and is movably arranged along the height direction of the support frame 100, and the first mounting plate includes a first end face and a second end face that are relatively arranged; a first purge component 312, which is arranged on the first end face; the chip cleaning device also includes: a clamping component 500, which is arranged on the second end face, and the clamping component 500 has a first clamping jaw 510, which clamps or releases the second purge component 322 through the first clamping jaw 510.

[0076] Through the movement of the first mounting plate 311, not only the position of the first blowing component 312 can be adjusted, but also the first clamping jaw 510 on the second end face can accurately control the positioning of the second blowing component 322, ensuring that it accurately extends into the cavity of the target workpiece 900 for deep cleaning, avoiding incomplete cleaning or equipment damage caused by inaccurate positioning.

[0077] In the initial state, the first clamping jaw 510 extends out and clamps the second blowing component 322 to prevent the second blowing component 322 from shaking. When extending into the inner cavity of the part, the second blowing component 322 gradually extends into the inner cavity from top to bottom, and the first clamping jaw 510 gradually opens until the second blowing component 322 is fully inserted into the inner cavity. At this time, the first clamping jaw 510 is fully opened and retracted to avoid interference between the first clamping jaw 510 and the target workpiece 900.

[0078] The clamping of the first clamping jaw 510 to the second blowing component 322 in the initial state effectively avoids shaking of the second blowing component 322 in the non-working state, especially when the device is in running or standby state, ensuring the stability of the second blowing component 322 and reducing equipment wear and cleaning deviation caused by vibration.

[0079] Through the gradual release of the first clamping jaw 510, the second blowing component 322 can accurately extend into the cavity of the target workpiece 900 to the predetermined depth. This precise control avoids unnecessary contact between the blowing component and the inner wall of the workpiece, reduces damage to the inner surface of the workpiece, and ensures the accuracy of the cleaning process.

[0080] After the second blowing component 322 is fully inserted into the inner cavity of the target workpiece 900, the first clamping jaw 510 is fully opened and retracted to avoid interference with the target workpiece 900 in subsequent operations, ensuring smooth operation of the device during the cleaning process and preventing possible jamming or damage.

[0081] Specifically, the first mounting plate 311 includes: a first plate body 3110, a second plate body 3111 and a third plate body 3112 connected with each other, the first plate body 3110 and the third plate body 3112 are oppositely and spacedly arranged to form an avoidance area 313 for avoiding the clamping device 200 between the first plate body 3110, the second plate body 3111 and the third plate body 3112; the first blowing component 312 is arranged on the first plate body 3110 and / or the third plate body 3112, and the clamping component 500 is arranged on the second plate body 3111.

[0082] The first blowing component 312 is arranged on the first plate body 3110 and the third plate body 3112, which can blow on both sides of the target workpiece 900 at the same time, improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0083] The existence of the avoidance area 313 avoids the first blowing component 312 interfering with the clamping device 200 during operation, ensuring the safety of the device during operation.

[0084] The interconnection design of the first plate body 3110, the second plate body 3111 and the third plate body 3112, and the ingenious layout between the clamping component 500 and the first blowing component 312 optimize the space utilization of the device, making the entire device more compact, i.e., capable of avoiding the target workpiece 900, and also avoiding the situation of interference between the clamping component 500 and the target workpiece 900.

[0085] The first blowing component 312 includes a plurality of nozzles, each nozzle facing the avoidance area 313 to blow the target workpiece 900 through each nozzle. Each first blowing component 312 is connected to the gas source through the air pipe. In order to avoid the problem of air pipe damage caused by the first mounting plate 311 pulling the air pipe during lifting, the support frame 100 is also provided with a drag chain 120, and the air pipe is connected with the drag chain 120.

[0086] In this application, the scrap removal device further comprises a driving assembly 600 arranged on the support frame 100, at least part of the driving assembly 600 is movably arranged along the height direction of the support frame 100, the blowing device 300 is connected with the driving assembly 600, and the blowing device 300 is driven to move by the driving assembly 600; a guide component 700 arranged on the support frame 100 and extending along the height direction of the support frame 100, the blowing device 300 is connected with the guide component 700 to guide the blowing device 300 during movement.

[0087] The introduction of the driving assembly 600 makes the movement of the blowing device 300 completely automatic. Through the servo motor or other precise driving elements, the position and movement speed of the blowing device 300 in the height direction of the support frame 100 can be accurately controlled, ensuring the stability and consistency of the blowing work.

[0088] The existence of the guide component 700 provides stable trajectory guidance for the movement of the blowing device 300, which can maintain the smooth movement of the blowing device 300 even in rapid or repeated motion, avoiding shaking or deviation during movement, ensuring that the blowing component can accurately aim at different parts of the target workpiece 900, and improving the cleaning efficiency and precision.

[0089] Preferably, the guide component 700 is a guide rail, and a plurality of sliding blocks are arranged on the guide rail, each first mounting plate 311 and second mounting plate 321 is connected with a corresponding sliding block.

[0090] The multi-block connection design of the guide rail effectively reduces the shaking of the first mounting plate 311 and the second mounting plate 321 during the air blowing process, especially for the deep cavity cleaning of the second blowing component 322.

[0091] The driving assembly 600 comprises: a first pulley 610 arranged at the top of the support frame 100; a second pulley 620 arranged at the bottom of the support frame 100, the first pulley 610 and the second pulley 620 are connected by a synchronous belt 630, and the blowing device 300 is connected with the synchronous belt 630.

[0092] The driving motor 640 is drivingly connected with the first pulley 610 through a driving pulley and a transmission shaft, and the driving motor 640 serves as a power source to drive the blowing device 300 to ascend and descend.

[0093] The use of the synchronous belt 630 ensures the smoothness and stability of the blowing device 300 when moving up and down, avoids the vibration and noise that may be caused by traditional chain or gear transmission, and improves the overall operation quality of the equipment.

[0094] The synchronous movement between the first pulley 610 and the second pulley 620, combined with the precise control of the servo motor, can realize the precise positioning of the blowing device 300 in the height direction. This driving mode perfectly combines with the multi-group and multi-angle design of the blowing device 300, not only supports the synchronous movement of the multiple first blowing assemblies 310 and the second blowing assemblies 320, but also can adapt to the blowing requirements of different heights and angles, enhancing the compatibility and flexibility of the equipment.

[0095] The support frame 100 comprises a connecting beam 110, the clamping device 200 is arranged on the connecting beam 110, and the chip removal equipment further comprises: a supporting component 800 arranged at the bottom of the support frame 100 and used for supporting the target workpiece 900, and the supporting component 800 is provided with a chip removal hole for discharging the blown chips in the cavity.

[0096] The supporting component 800 ensures the stable placement of the target workpiece 900 during the chip removal process, avoids the blowing deviation caused by the movement of the workpiece, and at the same time, the precise positioning helps the second blowing assembly 320 to extend into the cavity for deep cleaning, improving the consistency and reliability of the chip removal effect.

[0097] The design of the chip removal hole enables the blown chips in the cavity to be directly discharged through the bottom of the supporting component 800, avoiding the accumulation of the chips inside the equipment.

[0098] Specifically, the connecting beam 110 is at least two, the at least two connecting beams 110 are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the support frame 100, and a plurality of clamping devices 200 are arranged on each connecting beam 110 to clamp different positions of the target workpiece 900.

[0099] Wherein, the clamping device 200 comprises a second clamping jaw 210, which is arranged to be openable and closable to clamp the target workpiece 900. In the initial state, the clamping device 200 is located below the blowing device 300. After the second clamping jaw 210 clamps the target workpiece 900 and the bottom surface of the target workpiece 900 is supported on the supporting component 800, the driving assembly 600 operates to drive the first mounting plate 311 and the second mounting plate 321 to descend simultaneously. In this process, the first mounting plate 311 avoids the workpiece through the avoiding area 313 and blows the outer peripheral surface of the target workpiece 900 through the first blowing components 312. At the same time, the second blowing components 322 extend into the cavity to blow the cavity of the target workpiece 900. The downwardly blown debris is discharged through the debris discharge hole. In the blowing process, the negative pressure component 420 continuously operates to suck the blown debris into the debris collecting box 430.

[0100] In another embodiment provided in the present application, as shown in Figure 4 The second mounting plate 321 is a plurality of second mounting plates 321, which are arranged in the height direction of the supporting frame 100 at intervals. The second blowing components 322 are respectively connected with the second mounting plates 321 to ensure the stability of the second blowing components 322.

[0101] In the debris removing device provided in the present application, the adjacent two first mounting plates 311 are connected through the connecting rod 330 to make the first mounting plates 311 move synchronously. At the same time, the first mounting plates 311 and the second mounting plates 321 are connected with the synchronous belt 630 to ensure the synchronous movement of the first blowing assembly 310 and the second blowing assembly 320.

[0102] The support frame 100 is integrally welded, and other structures are mounted on the support frame 100. The driving assembly 600 is a servo transmission system, which is a power source of the whole device. The servo motor drives the belt wheel to rotate, and one side of the closed synchronous belt 630 is connected to the second mounting plate 321 through the pressing block. The second mounting plate 321 is installed on the guide slide rail, so that the servo motor drives the second mounting plate 321 to move up and down along the slide rail. The first mounting plate 311 is an E-shaped structure, and the first mounting plate 311 is connected to the second mounting plate 321 and moves along the guide slide rail together. The first mounting plate 311 is connected to the first mounting plate 311 through the connecting rod 330, so that the second mounting plate 321 and the plurality of first mounting plates 311 are driven to move up and down along the guide slide rail. The first mounting plate 311 is provided with a detection sensor for detecting whether there is a part in the station. The detection sensor is an infrared sensor, which feeds back whether there is a blowing instruction. The first mounting plate 311 is provided with a first blowing component 312, which can change the nozzle angle and air pressure according to the size and depth of the hole of the part under the adjustment of the PLC. The first blowing assembly 310 is mainly used for cleaning the aluminum scraps outside the part. The second blowing component 322 is a long blowing pipe fixed on the second mounting plate 321, which can be designed according to the distribution position of the part cavity. The second blowing component 322 can extend into the deep cavity of the part. In the initial state, the second blowing component 322 is suspended above the part. When blowing and cleaning are needed, the second mounting plate 321 and the first mounting plate 311 are driven to descend, and then the second blowing component 322 gradually extends into the cavity of the part to blow from top to bottom, until it completely extends into the part and then rises. This cycle is repeated for about 2-3 times to blow and clean the aluminum scraps in the cavity of the part. The number of times can be adjusted according to the degree of adhesion of the aluminum scraps. The second blowing component 322 is a high-strength pipe, which can be a steel pipe, a carbon fiber pipe or other materials with high strength and not easy to bend and deform, and can ensure that it does not shake violently when it enters the cavity of the part under the airflow. The clamping component 500 is a long blowing pipe clamping device. In the initial state, the clamping component 500 clamps the second blowing component 322 to prevent the second blowing component 322 from shaking. When the long blowing pipe gradually extends into the cavity from bottom to top, the clamping component 500 device also gradually opens, and the second blowing component 322 at this position will extend into the cavity only after the clamping component 500 is opened. When the long blowing pipe completely extends into the part, the clamping component 500 should be fully opened and retracted, and the second blowing component 322 gradually rises, so that the clamping component 500 gradually clamps. The second clamping jaw 210 and the supporting component 800 are fixing devices for the part, which can realize the station switching of different parts and fix different battery tray parts. The dust collecting cover 410 is arranged outside the blowing area to form a "blowing and sucking linkage" airflow closed loop. The inner wall of the dust collecting cover is designed with a flow guide groove to enhance the aluminum scrap collection efficiency. Finally, the collected aluminum scraps fall into the dust collecting box 430.After filling, manual aluminum scrap cleaning or recycling is performed.

[0103] From the above description, it can be seen that the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application achieve the following technical effects:

[0104] According to the scrap cleaning equipment provided by the present application, the positions of the clamping device 200 and the blowing device 300 are adjustable, so that the equipment can adapt to various types of target workpieces 900, such as the front cross beam, the middle beam, and the tail beam of a battery tray, thereby improving the compatibility of the equipment and the flexibility of the production line, and reducing the equipment adjustment time and cost caused by changing products.

[0105] Through the combined use of the first blowing assembly 310 and the second blowing assembly 320, comprehensive cleaning of the outer peripheral surface and the inside of the cavity is achieved. The first blowing assembly 310 is responsible for external scrap cleaning, avoiding the residual of surface debris; the second blowing assembly 320 can extend into the inside of the workpiece cavity for deep cleaning, solving the limitation that the traditional method cannot reach the inner cavity, and ensuring the overall cleanliness of the target workpiece 900.

[0106] The blowing device 300 can move along the height direction of the support frame 100, which means that the equipment can automatically adjust the blowing position according to the specific needs of different workpieces, without frequent manual intervention, thereby improving the continuity and automation level of the operation, and being conducive to building an efficient and intelligent production line.

[0107] The scrap collecting cover 410 in the scrap collecting device 400 forms a closed loop with the negative pressure component 420, which can instantly capture the debris blown up during the blowing process, prevent the debris from flying around and causing secondary pollution, ensure the cleanliness of the working environment, reduce the impact on the subsequent process, and ensure the safety of the production line. The collected debris is concentrated in a specific area through the scrap collecting cover 410, which is convenient for unified management and recycling, especially when dealing with metal debris (such as aluminum scrap), which not only reduces the consumption of raw materials, but also reduces the cost of waste treatment.
